Delivery Checklist

Delivery Checklist

Use this checklist before teaching the course or sharing it with another instructor.

Repository State

• git status --short is clean.
• scripts/reset_exercises.sh all has been run so learners start with stubs.
• scripts/test.sh passes from the repository root.
• scripts/verify_answers.sh passes and resets exercises afterward.
• The first Lesson 6 run is allowed to download Maven dependencies.
• cf_page.html opens locally in a browser.
• The Cloudflare Pages site builds with npm --prefix cloudflare-pages run verify.
• build/ can be removed and regenerated.

Instructor Readiness

• Read docs/facilitator_guide.md.
• Read docs/assessment_rubric.md.
• Read the target lesson's instructor_notes.md.
• Prepare one language comparison relevant to the learner group.
• Prepare one extension prompt for fast learners.
• Prepare one rescue prompt for learners who get stuck on syntax.

Learner Readiness

• Learners have JDK 21 or newer.
• Learners have Maven 3.6.3 or newer for lesson 6.
• Learners know how to open a terminal in the repository root.
• Learners can run scripts/test.sh.
• Learners know which files are safe to edit.
• Learners know how to reset an exercise.

Live Delivery Flow

For each lesson:

• Run the demo before opening the code.
• Ask learners what behavior they observed.
• Open the entry-point class and trace outward.
• Pause on Java-specific language features.
• Move to the exercise file and implement one function live only if needed.
• Let learners work individually or in pairs.
• Apply answers and compare with at least two learner approaches.
• Run the demo or exercise again after the debrief.
